Added support for Python actor methods. Also changed FabricActorClient.AddMethod and IActorState.AddMethod to accept a SupportedLanguages enum value rather than an integer. These are only called from...

Allows us to launch ActorFx applications on Azure, including the gateway app. The initial launching of the actor runtime cluster to Azure is, sadly, still unsupported. So these changes will be of some...

Added IronPython.Modules.dll lib and properly plumbed it through. This was missing from our initial Python support. I also changed some "dumb" ActorServiceResult serialization to "smart"...

Removing a dependency on System.Numerics, for portable library compliance. The Actor Runtime was communicating errors about a primary no longer being the primary in a weird way. We were detecting this...
